Schemantlics: The devious thought process of a collector/investor who projects rookie status upon a card to boost its perceived value.
See everyone, JollyElm doesn't have a stranglehold on this type of hobby word creation. Brian |

489. Technicalithief (also Pinielling Lies (colloquialism))
A seller deceptively calling a card a rookie card (which it technically is), when the player’s actual rookie card was the one he was pictured on in a previous year. See also: Enemasquerade - getting screwed over by not realizing that this card is a faux rookie card.

Since the 1952 card was mentioned, I'll also add this...
![]() 23. Mycophant (also Twenty Four/#7) A person who only cares about cards, memorabilia or topics associated with their reverence for and obsession with Mickey Mantle. See also: Micrepresentation - the refusal to acknowledge the fact you only want Mantle cards because of their huge resale value and potential return on investment (ROI). See also: Inmantleize - once again condescendingly referring to basic Mickey Mantle card facts that we’ve heard a million times before, i.e., “The 1952 Topps is not his rookie card,” or “The 1965 Topps World Series Game 3 ‘Mantle's Clutch HR’ card actually shows him missing the pitch...and it wrongly shows Bob Gibson pitching in that game!!!”
